12. It is We (Allāh) Who bring the dead to life, and We record what they sent forth (of good or evil) and their tracks ^[4]. and every thing We have enumerated it in a clear Record (the Preserved Tablet).

[4]. Muhammad, God's Messenger ﷺ said:
"Among the good deeds that continue to benefit a believer after death are: a knowledge that he taught and disseminated, a righteous child who lived after him and supplicate for him, a Qur'an book that he left as inheritance, a masjid that he built, a house that he built for the wayfarers, a stream that he ran, or a charity that he gave from his wealth during his healthy lifetime so that it would reach him (in rewards) after death." This indicate that a righteous child benefits his deceased parents with supplication. It is further demonstrated here that he can benefit them by spending sadaqah, as well as doing other charitable deeds, on their behalf. What benefits him also is teaching and disseminating the knowledge, printing a useful and beneficial book that remains after him, or establishing a charity, the rewards of these things continue to reach him as long as they continue to exist.

13 : 36

وَٱضۡرِبۡ لَهُم مَّثَلًا أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ إِذۡ جَآءَهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ

13. Give them an example of the people of the town (Antioch), when the messengers came to it.

14 : 36

إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِمُ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزۡنَا بِثَالِثٖ فَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ إِلَيۡكُم مُّرۡسَلُونَ

14. When We sent to them two messengers, but they rejected them both, then We strengthened them with a third, and they said: "Indeed, We are messengers (sent) to you."

15 : 36

قَالُواْ مَآ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُنَا وَمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ مِن شَيۡءٍ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا تَكۡذِبُونَ

15. They said: "You are only human beings like us, nor has the Most Compassionate (Allāh) revealed anything; you only lie."

16 : 36

قَالُواْ رَبُّنَا يَعۡلَمُ إِنَّآ إِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمُرۡسَلُونَ

16. They said (to the people of the town): "Our Lord (Allāh) knows that surely we are indeed messengers (sent) to you.

17 : 36

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

17. And we are not responsible except for delivering (the message of God) clearly.”

18 : 36

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا تَطَيَّرۡنَا بِكُمۡۖ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهُواْ لَنَرۡجُمَنَّكُمۡ وَلَيَمَسَّنَّكُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

18. They said: "Indeed, we augur an evil omen from you (messengers) ^[5]. If you do not desist (your preaching), we shall certainly stone you, and there will touch you a painful torment from us."

[5]. Muhammad, God's Messenger ﷺ said: "There is no passing of disease except with God's Permission, nor is there any bad omen (whether from men or) from birds, nor is there any bad omen in Safar (or in any month). Whenever any of you sees something he assumes as bad omen, he should pray: ‘O Allāh, my Lord, none but You bring good things. None but you prevent evil things. There is no power and no strength except in You."

19 : 36

قَالُواْ طَٰٓئِرُكُم مَّعَكُمۡ أَئِن ذُكِّرۡتُمۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٞ مُّسۡرِفُونَ

19. They said: "Your bird (of augury) is with you (because of your disbelief). Is it because you were reminded (about the truth)? Rather, you are a transgressing people."

20 : 36

وَجَآءَ مِنۡ أَقۡصَا ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٞ يَسۡعَىٰ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

20. And a man ^[6] came from the farthest end of the city, rushing. He said: "O my people, follow the messengers (of God).

[6]. I.e., Habib, the carpenter.

21 : 36

ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَن لَّا يَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ أَجۡرٗا وَهُم مُّهۡتَدُونَ

21. Follow those who do not ask of you any reward, and who are rightly guided.

22 : 36

وَمَالِيَ لَآ أَعۡبُدُ ٱلَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ

22. And why should I not worship (Allāh alone) Who has originated me? And to Him you shall 'all' be returned (for Judgment).

23 : 36

ءَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً إِن يُرِدۡنِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ بِضُرّٖ لَّا تُغۡنِ عَنِّي شَفَٰعَتُهُمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يُنقِذُونِ

23. Should I take gods besides Him? If the Most Compassionate (Allāh) wills any adversity to me, will not avail from me their intercession in anything, nor can they save me.

24 : 36

إِنِّيٓ إِذٗا لَّفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ

24. Indeed, then I will certainly be in clear error.

25 : 36

إِنِّيٓ ءَامَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمۡ فَٱسۡمَعُونِ

25. I have indeed believed in (Allāh alone) your (real) Lord, so hear me ^[7].

[7]. But they killed him.

26 : 36

قِيلَ ٱدۡخُلِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَۖ قَالَ يَٰلَيۡتَ قَوۡمِي يَعۡلَمُونَ

26. It was said (to him) ^[8]: "Enter Paradise." He said: "Oh, would that my people knew ^[9],

[8]. After he was martyred for the sake of Allāh.
[9]. He said so after Allāh admitted him into Paradise and he saw the pleasures therein.

27 : 36

بِمَا غَفَرَ لِي رَبِّي وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ

27. With what my Lord (Allāh) has forgiven me and made me of the honored ones."

28 : 36

۞ وَمَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ مِن جُندٖ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ

28. We did not send down upon his people after him (his martyrdom) of any host from the heaven, nor We would sending any down.

29 : 36

إِن كَانَتۡ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَإِذَا هُمۡ خَٰمِدُونَ

29. It was not but one shout, then behold! They (were) extinguished.

30 : 36

يَٰحَسۡرَةً عَلَى ٱلۡعِبَادِۚ مَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

30. Ah, the anguish for the bondmen (mankind and jinn)! There comes not to them of any messenger (of God) but they mock at him.

31 : 36

أَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِمۡ لَا يَرۡجِعُونَ

31. Do they not see how many of the (sinful) generations have We destroyed before them, that unto them they will not return?

32 : 36

وَإِن كُلّٞ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٞ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُونَ

32. Yet all of them will surely be brought present before Us (for Judgment).

33 : 36

وَءَايَةٞ لَّهُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةُ أَحۡيَيۡنَٰهَا وَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مِنۡهَا حَبّٗا فَمِنۡهُ يَأۡكُلُونَ

33. And a sign ^[10] for them is the dead earth - We give life to it and bring forth from it grain so they eat of it.

[10]. Of Our power to create and to resurrect.

34 : 36

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيهَا جَنَّٰتٖ مِّن نَّخِيلٖ وَأَعۡنَٰبٖ وَفَجَّرۡنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلۡعُيُونِ

34. And We made therein gardens of date-palms and grapevines, and caused to flow forth therein of the springs,

35 : 36

لِيَأۡكُلُواْ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦ وَمَا عَمِلَتۡهُ أَيۡدِيهِمۡۚ أَفَلَا يَشۡكُرُونَ

35. So that they may eat of the fruit thereof, and what their hands have madet it. Will they not then be grateful?

36 : 36

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَزۡوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمِنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

36. Glory be to (Allāh) Who created all pairs from what the earth grows, and from themselves, and from that which they do not know.

37 : 36

وَءَايَةٞ لَّهُمُ ٱلَّيۡلُ نَسۡلَخُ مِنۡهُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظۡلِمُونَ

37. And also a sign to them is the night; We draw forth from it the day, and thus they are in darkness.

38 : 36

وَٱلشَّمۡسُ تَجۡرِي لِمُسۡتَقَرّٖ لَّهَاۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقۡدِيرُ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡعَلِيمِ

38. And the sun runs its course toward its stopping point for it. This is the Decree of (Allāh) the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.

39 : 36

وَٱلۡقَمَرَ قَدَّرۡنَٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلۡعُرۡجُونِ ٱلۡقَدِيمِ

39. And the moon, We have measured for it (precise) phases till it becomes again like the old date-stalk.

40 : 36

لَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ يَنۢبَغِي لَهَآ أَن تُدۡرِكَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيۡلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِۚ وَكُلّٞ فِي فَلَكٖ يَسۡبَحُونَ

40. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day. and each is swimming in an orbit.

41 : 36

وَءَايَةٞ لَّهُمۡ أَنَّا حَمَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

41. And another sign for them is that We bore their offspring in the laden Ark (of Noah).

42 : 36

وَخَلَقۡنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثۡلِهِۦ مَا يَرۡكَبُونَ

42. And We created for them from the like of it, what they ride.

43 : 36

وَإِن نَّشَأۡ نُغۡرِقۡهُمۡ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنقَذُونَ

43. And if We should will, We could drown them, so they will have no screaming for them, nor would they be rescued.

44 : 36

إِلَّا رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا وَمَتَٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

44. Except (by) Mercy from Us, and provision for a time.

45 : 36

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُواْ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ

45. When they are told: "Guard yourselves against what is ahead of you, and what is behind you, so that you may receive Mercy."

46 : 36

وَمَا تَأۡتِيهِم مِّنۡ ءَايَةٖ مِّنۡ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضِينَ

46. And there comes not to them a sign of the Signs of their Lord 'Allāh' but they turn away from it.

47 : 36

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَنُطۡعِمُ مَن لَّوۡ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطۡعَمَهُۥٓ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ

47. When they are told: "Spend (for the Cause of Allāh) out of what Allāh has provided for you", those who disbelieve 'in the Truth' say to those who believe: "Shall we feed those whom, if Allāh willed, He 'Himself' would have fed? You are only in clear error."

48 : 36

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

48. They say: "When will this Promise (of Resurrection and Judgment) come to pass, if you are truthful?"

49 : 36

مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ تَأۡخُذُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ يَخِصِّمُونَ

49. They do not await except a one shout which will seize them while they are disputing.

50 : 36

فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ تَوۡصِيَةٗ وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ

50. So they will not be able (to) make any bequest, nor will they return to their families,

51 : 36

وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَنسِلُونَ

51. And the trumpet will be blown, when immediately from the sepulchres ^[11] they will hasten on to their Lord (Allāh).

[11]. I.e., graves. The main difference between the grave and the jadath is that the grave is the burial place in this world, while the jadath refers to the place of gathering and emergence from it on the Day of Judgment, when the scattered bodies will emerge from their atoms in the dust, sea, or elsewhere, and not just from the specific burial place. The word “ajdath” in the Qur’an expresses a state of movement and speed, while “qubur” is used to indicate a state of stillness and inactivity.

52 : 36

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرۡقَدِنَاۜۗ هَٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ

52. They will say: "Oh, woe to us. Who has raised us up from our place of sleep ( grave)? (The reply will be): "This is what the Most Compassionate (Allāh) had promised, and the messengers told the Truth.

53 : 36

إِن كَانَتۡ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَإِذَا هُمۡ جَمِيعٞ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُونَ

53. It will not be except a single shout, so behold, they will all be brought before Us.

54 : 36

فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ لَا تُظۡلَمُ نَفۡسٞ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

54. So Today no soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least; and you will not be recompensed except for that which you used to do.

55 : 36

إِنَّ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ فِي شُغُلٖ فَٰكِهُونَ

55. Indeed, the occupants of Paradise this Day will be amused in (cheerful) occupation enjoying themselves.

56 : 36

هُمۡ وَأَزۡوَٰجُهُمۡ فِي ظِلَٰلٍ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ مُتَّكِـُٔونَ

56. They and their spouses will be in (cool) shades on the couches reclining.

57 : 36

لَهُمۡ فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٞ وَلَهُم مَّا يَدَّعُونَ

57. They will have fruits therein, and they will have whatever they call for.

58 : 36

سَلَٰمٞ قَوۡلٗا مِّن رَّبّٖ رَّحِيمٖ

58. "Peace!" Such is a Word from a Merciful Lord (Allāh) ^[12].

[12]. When, Muhammad, the Messenger of God ﷺ finished his prayer, he would not sit long enough but to say, “O Allāh, You are peace and from You is peace. Blessed are You, the Majestic and Noble.”

59 : 36

وَٱمۡتَٰزُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

59. "But get yourselves apart (from the believers) this Day, O guilty ones."

60 : 36

۞ أَلَمۡ أَعۡهَدۡ إِلَيۡكُمۡ يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعۡبُدُواْ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمۡ عَدُوّٞ مُّبِينٞ

60. Did I not command you, O children of Adam, that you should not worship Satan? He is surely an open enemy to you,

61 : 36

وَأَنِ ٱعۡبُدُونِيۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ

61. And that you should worship Me (alone); this is a straight Path.

62 : 36

وَلَقَدۡ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمۡ جِبِلّٗا كَثِيرًاۖ أَفَلَمۡ تَكُونُواْ تَعۡقِلُونَ

62.Yet (Satan) ^[13] already misled many a crowd of you (O mankind). Did you not have any sense?

[13]. This shows Satan’s rebellion and fall, and tells us further that he was able to persuade many people, to join him in his rebellion. Though we should not obsess over Satan in any way, there is great advantage in knowing that in spite of what power he may yet retain, he is limited because he has no power over the servants of God - except what power we allow him to have. This knowledge of Satan also reminds us of his power to deceive; however, we are not to be ignorant of his devices because Satan is always ready, willing, and able to mislead and ensnare anyone who is unprepared and undiscerning. Satan will always be what and who he is. Let’s keep our eyes fixed on Allāh, knowing that we are victorious through Him, and by doing so, greatly minimize any possibility of becoming victims of Satan’s schemes.

63 : 36

هَٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِي كُنتُمۡ تُوعَدُونَ

63. This (is) Gehinnom (Hell) that you were promised.

64 : 36

ٱصۡلَوۡهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ

64. Burn in it Today for what you used to disbelieve (in the Truth).

65 : 36

ٱلۡيَوۡمَ نَخۡتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَتَشۡهَدُ أَرۡجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ

65. Today We shall set a seal upon their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their legs will bear witness of what they used to earn (of sins).

66 : 36

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡيُنِهِمۡ فَٱسۡتَبَقُواْ ٱلصِّرَٰطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبۡصِرُونَ

66. Had We willed, We would indeed have obliterated their eyes so they (these deniers) would race with each other to the path, then how could they see?

67 : 36

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَمَسَخۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمۡ فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْ مُضِيّٗا وَلَا يَرۡجِعُونَ

67. And had We willed, We could have transformed them (by paralyzing them) in their places, so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return.

68 : 36

وَمَن نُّعَمِّرۡهُ نُنَكِّسۡهُ فِي ٱلۡخَلۡقِۚ أَفَلَا يَعۡقِلُونَ

68. And to whomever We give long life, We reverse him in the creation (to weakness after strength). Will they not then understand?

69 : 36

وَمَا عَلَّمۡنَٰهُ ٱلشِّعۡرَ وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لَهُۥٓۚ إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ وَقُرۡءَانٞ مُّبِينٞ

69. We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it befitting for him; it is only a Reminder and a clear Qur’an (Recitation),

70 : 36

لِّيُنذِرَ مَن كَانَ حَيّٗا وَيَحِقَّ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

70. To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers.

71 : 36

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتۡ أَيۡدِينَآ أَنۡعَٰمٗا فَهُمۡ لَهَا مَٰلِكُونَ

71. Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have wrought, grazing livestock, so they are their owners?

72 : 36

وَذَلَّلۡنَٰهَا لَهُمۡ فَمِنۡهَا رَكُوبُهُمۡ وَمِنۡهَا يَأۡكُلُونَ

72. And We have subdued them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat.

73 : 36

وَلَهُمۡ فِيهَا مَنَٰفِعُ وَمَشَارِبُۚ أَفَلَا يَشۡكُرُونَ
